Just got my SEMA tickets, anyone else going?

Just got my plane and show tickets for SEMA this week. I was just curious if anyone else is going to be there. Someone's gotta represent the old schoolers! I figure if we get a small team together we could run around deflating all the sport compacts' tires! *insert evil laugh here*

BinaB, As usual I'll be there. It's a can't miss show of everything a car guy could want, including a lot of stuff no one would ever want. But, what the hey-it's Mecca for car nuts. Oh oh, Mecca, am I allowed to say that???
We'll be staying at the Monte Carlo. My wife arranged a special deal on the rates. She called them up and told them that we had stayed there for the past two years and had used their casino card and they agreed to give her a very special rate. Anyone that goes to SEMA knows that hotel rates go through the roof at that time of year. We're happy.
Also, we will be going to the NHRA drags at the Strip the weekend before SEMA which makes me very happy. The smell of nitro and burning rubber followed by SEMA-what could be better?
Where are you staying?
